Making the power connections

1. Insert the plug (label facing up) of the DC power cord

into the DC Power connector.

2. Insert the small plug of the AC power cord into the

power pack.

3. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into a live

Checking the room code

The RoomMate

speaker and the remote control used with

it must have the same room code. Your RoomMate

speaker

is shipped from the factory set up to operate using room

code I. See the owner’s guide that came with the remote

for instructions on changing the room code.

If room code I is already used by another Bose

link product

in your home, you will need to set the speaker to a different

room code.

To change the room code in the RoomMate speaker:

1. Find the room code switches on the rear panel.

2. Using a fine-point pen or other small tool, set switches

1 through 4 to the corresponding up and down positions

shown for that room code in the following table.

Checking the house code

In order to operate your main room system using a second

room remote, the remote and your main room system must

have the same house code.

To check the house code setting and learn how to change it,

see the owners guide for your main system and the remote

that you are planning to use in the other room.

A LIFESTYLE

system radio frequency (RF) remote has a long

range and the ability to penetrate walls. Therefore, the signals

from a remote in one home can possibly reach and affect the

operation of a LIFESTYLE

system in another. Changing the

house code for the system and all the remotes used with it

avoids possible conflict.

Connecting an audio device

You can use your RoomMate

speaker to listen to an external

audio device such as a TV, or a portable CD or MP3 player.

Just plug the output cable from your device into the AUX IN

connector on the rear panel of your speaker. The cable must

be equipped with a male 3.5 mm (

/8") stereo plug.

Note: Your Bose

second room remote control will not operate any

audio device connected to the AUX IN connector.

Listening to a connected audio device

The device that is connected to AUX IN is identified by your

LIFESTYLE system as a Local source.

Using a PERSONAL

music center II:

1. Turn on your connected device.

2. Press the Source button.

3. Select

Local and press [OK].

4. To operate your connected device, use the controls on the

device or the remote control that came with it.

Using a RC-35S2 remote control:

1. Turn on your connected device and start playing a track.

2. Press the OTHER button to select the Local Source. Keep

pressing the OTHER button until you hear your device.

Using AUX IN with no Bose

link connection

When your RoomMate

speaker is disconnected from your

Bose link network, the AUX IN input is automatically selected.

This means that you can listen to a connected audio device

without using your main room system. Use the volume control

on your external device to set the volume level of the speaker.

You can still use the mute switch on the front of the speaker

to mute the audio at any time.
